Pinocembrine: A bioactive flavanone from Teloxys graveolens 

 -  Journal of EthnoPharmacology, 31(3), p.383-389, 1991 .
<br/><br/> Bioactivity directed fractionation of the acetone extract of Teloxys graveolens (Willd.)Weber (Chenopodiaceae), using the brine shrimp lethality test, led to the isolation of 5,7-dihydroxyflavanone (pinocembrine)(lc50 = 4.25 µg/ml)as the only active compound. Pinocembrine also exhibited fasciolicide, ovicide and larvicide activities on newly excysted Fasciola hepatica, on infective eggs of Ascaridi galli and on stage three larvae of Stomoxys calcitrans, respectively.
